Equipment Introduction

Scrap Aluminum Crusher

Haoxing Machinery's Scrap Aluminum Crusher is a hammer-type crushing machine used for processing scrap aluminum, aluminum profiles, aluminum alloy scrap, cast aluminum parts, thermal break aluminum, UBCs, aluminum sheets and other recyclable aluminum materials.

The machine uses a high-speed rotor and hammer assembly to impact, tear and crush aluminum scrap inside the crushing chamber. During crushing, the material is repeatedly impacted, rubbed and squeezed between the hammers, liner plates and screen grate, reducing bulky aluminum scrap into smaller pieces.

The main machine usually consists of crusher housing, rotor system, hammer assembly, wear-resistant liner plates, screen grate, feeding device, discharge system, drive system and electric control system. A complete production line can include feeding conveyor, scrap aluminum crusher, discharge conveyor, magnetic separator, optional eddy current separator, pulse dust collector, vibrating feeder and supporting platform.

After crushing, the material can be conveyed to magnetic separation or other sorting equipment. Ferrous impurities can be removed by magnetic separator, while aluminum and other non-ferrous metals can be further processed by eddy current separation, screening or manual sorting according to material condition and recycling requirements.

The scrap aluminum crusher is commonly used in aluminum scrap recycling plants, aluminum profile recycling sites, secondary aluminum processing projects, metal recovery production lines and scrap recycling yards.

Scrap aluminum crusher crushing and sorting production line

Scrap Aluminum Crushing and Sorting Process

The scrap aluminum crusher is a hammer-type crushing machine used for processing scrap aluminum, aluminum profiles, aluminum alloy scrap, cast aluminum parts, thermal break aluminum, used beverage cans, aluminum sheets and other recyclable aluminum materials.

Feeding and Crushing

During operation, aluminum scrap is fed into the crushing chamber by a conveyor or feeding device. The high-speed rotor drives the hammers to repeatedly impact, tear and crush the material. The material is also rubbed and squeezed between the hammers, liner plates and screen grate, gradually reducing bulky aluminum scrap into smaller pieces.

Output Size Control

The screen grate at the bottom of the crusher helps control the output size. Materials smaller than the screen openings are discharged from the machine, while larger pieces remain in the crushing chamber for further crushing.

Magnetic and Eddy Current Separation

After crushing, the material can be conveyed to a magnetic separator to remove ferrous impurities such as iron screws, steel parts and other magnetic materials. Depending on the recycling process, an eddy current separator can also be added to separate aluminum and other conductive non-ferrous metals from non-metallic materials.

Dust Collection

A pulse dust collector can be configured according to the material condition and site layout. It helps collect dust and fine particles generated during crushing and conveying.
